I admit the replacement toner cost can be high, but if you buy one at this price you will get thousands of pages out of the toner, and then buy another printer when you need new toner.

I bought a Samsung 1210 about 3 years ago for about £35 and ran it till the toner ran out. The official Samsung replacement toner can cost over £50 so my printer has stayed unused for the last year.

I am tempted to buy a new printer, but want one network ready.

The ML-1210 can be refilled very easily. My Mum is on her third refill of the original cartridge from a £7 refill kit. So that's £47 all in for 3 years printing. My Dad spend more on black ink for his Epson Stylus in 6 months.

He should have used cheap cartridges like your Mum, they are about £2 each :thumbsup:

Same thing applies to injets though - If you buy official carts you must be mad.

I'd disagree with that point. I've never found a replacement cart that prints nice photos yet on my epson. I always go back to the originals. They ALL without fail, produce banding and stink to high heaven from the cheap bulk out materials they use in the ink.

For letters and stuff, the cheapos are fine!

Yeah I did'nt word that very clearly - The post was refering to black and white printing as mentioned right at the end.

Just got this for my mum, the one she got from Staples for £39.99! The supplied toner is not refillable, without melting holes, and I have read that it does not stand refilling by melting holes very well as it is not made to same spec as the full capacity toner that costs £50 ish
